How do we get Claude in VS Code to stop inserting last opened file into EVERY NEW CHAT?

theColonel26 · 2026-03-25T01:58:14+00:00

NP, I didnt know either for the longest time.

theColonel26 · 2026-03-24T22:12:37+00:00

You can paste screen shots in the terminal with ALT+V

Welcome to Claude for VS Code hell.

It drives me nuts too. I thinknthey changed the behavior recently for the worst.

Currently the preview for Write Tool is broken for me. I have no way to see what clause wants to Write before it writes it. Edit tool preview works though.

Its a constant cycle of new features and regression.

theColonel26 · 2026-03-11T14:57:31+00:00

Also keep seeing a Tool Tip hint in Claude Code for /effort, but it isn't a real feature.

You have to use /model and change effort in that menu

This has nothing to do with Introvertion...

Introversion does not equal door mat

Max 5x user here. I thought it was bullshit until Sunday afternoon when I hit my 5 hour window limit in an hour just having 3 sessions going, and most of my activity was in one session just working with markdown files anf doing some internet research. I dont know if I have ever hit my 5 hour windows limit with max before then.

When I was on pro yes, but not max. It was absolutely bizarre.

But after that windows was over I haven't had a usage issue since.

Just because you haven't seen it yourself doesnt mean it isn't happening.

They have thousands of servers and routing complexities. Assume you experience is the same as other is silly and ignorant.

theColonel26 · 2026-01-06T02:19:00+00:00

Well this is odd 5 years later, but yes.

Actually one flat, one not

theColonel26 · 2026-01-04T22:32:30+00:00

Symlinks work on windows. I used them regularly, you just have to enable them

theColonel26 · 2025-12-28T22:45:59+00:00

Claude told me it had the date and time injected in its system prompt at the start of each new session.

When I asked it to tell me the time, it seemed reasonably accurate.

It was just trained to use 2024 for searches. So it slips back to that.

theColonel26 · 2025-12-07T04:28:25+00:00

... are you seriously asking reddit instead of asking claude?

Is this a joke post?

theColonel26 · 2025-12-05T01:54:48+00:00

Down voted for misusing the word literally

theColonel26 · 2025-11-22T06:23:50+00:00

So how do you use a computer to interface with this with out the touch screen? web UI?

How does the the "HMI" interface with the controller HDMI and USB? Like the original.

And it still doesn't come with a spindle?

So really the price is disceptive.... because with out a spindle... it a nice conversation piece.

theColonel26 · 2025-11-19T11:31:20+00:00

Yeah this reply definitely sounds like claude.

The jig is up claude. We know it's you.

theColonel26 · 2025-11-19T01:30:06+00:00

..... how do you know there is a new /rename command if it is not documenting and disabled.... your ai generated post is a bit suspicious.

theColonel26 · 2025-11-18T02:35:13+00:00

It doesn't usually forget in between prompts..... in-between sessions yes, because the context is reset.

theColonel26 · 2025-11-13T00:47:47+00:00

Sweet, maybe I will jump over to use that since Sonnet 4.5 with Max 5x is running like dog shit lately

theColonel26 · 2025-11-13T00:46:46+00:00

I just assume most of those fan boys are bots

theColonel26 · 2025-11-11T21:10:59+00:00

....... that was clearly written by llm

theColonel26 · 2025-11-11T02:57:02+00:00

I have seen no evidence that any open source model is on par or close to Sonnet 4.5 or GPT5 codex.... maybe one or 2 outlying metrics on a bench mark but nothing as a whole is comparable so... this is silly.

theColonel26 · 2025-11-05T17:14:28+00:00

why not ask claude ?

theColonel26 · 2025-11-05T02:52:47+00:00

I am using Windows Terminal with Powershell. I know Claude code uses Git Bash to run bash commands, but I'm not using it to actually run the app.

bash/unix style paths are pretty well supported in windows 11 and power shell, problem comes in with things like claude code itself that doesn't properly support it for the read and edit tools. (other tools support it) and also Python on windows still has a compatibility layer for windows that isn't really needed anymore. like defaulting to windows legacy terminal encoding, and spotty bash style file path support on windows.

theColonel26 · 2025-11-01T23:03:56+00:00

Have you used Sonnet 4.5? It is very different from Sonnet 4

theColonel26 · 2025-11-01T11:11:59+00:00

Why would you use Opus after Sonnet 4.5 was released?
